The ExcelTaq™ 2X Q-PCR Master Mix (SYBR, no ROX) is a ready-to-use reagent with all the essential components for quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) except primers and template. The master mix features high sensitivity and signal intensity as well as low background and better compatibility with cDNA templates derived directly from reverse transcription reaction mixture. The ExcelTaq™ 2X Q-PCR Master Mix (SYBR, no ROX) contains hot-start Taq polymerase in an optimized buffer with dsDNA specific SYBR green fluorescent dye. This master mix allows for sensitive, precise amplification, real-time tracking of the amplification process, and simultaneous quantification for targeted DNA molecules. With inert smart blue contrast dye, the ExcelTaq™ 2X Q-PCR Master Mix (SYBR, no ROX) is ready-to-use and greatly reduces pipetting errors, while largely improving the reproducibility of the process. The ExcelTaq™ 2X Q-PCR Master Mix is also compatible with a ROX reference dye if recommended by the manufacturer of the qPCR system.

Cod Uracil-DNA Glycosylase (Cod UNG) from Atlantic Cod is the only commercially available UNG enzyme that is completely and irreversibly inactivated by moderate heat treatment. The enzyme is produced in a recombinant E. coli (ung-) strain that contains a modified Cod UNG gene.
Key Features:
Heat-labile – Completely and irreversibly inactivated at 55°C
Contamination control – ideal in applications below
Use of Cod UNG makes contamination control possible in RT-PCR
Does not degrade PCR product post-PCR. This makes downstream use of the PCR product possible
High purity enzyme, tested free of contaminating nucleases
There are several commercially available Uracil-DNA glycosylases on the market today. Most of them are of bacterial origin and work well if you have no intention to further analyze the PCR products post-PCR. However, if you want to store your PCR products for downstream analysis such as cloning and sequencing, the reactivation of UNG and subsequent degradation of your PCR products are a problem with most of the commercially available UNGs. Cod UNG from ArcticZymes is completely and irreversibly inactivated by heat thus ensuring that sample integrity is maintained long-term regardless of storage conditions.
This is illustrated in figure 1, below

Properties
Recommended Protocols
1. Contamination control in PCR, qPCR and one-step RT-qPCR
Cod UNG works in all commercially available master mixes.
Be sure that you have used dUTP containing dNTP mixes in your previous PCR experiments.
Add 0.2 U Cod UNG directly to your 20 µl PCR reaction.
pre-incubate for 5 min at room temperature.
For RT-qPCR, reverse transcribe your RNA at 50-55°C.
Run your PCR.
Store your PCR product at -20°C or 4°C degrees.
2. Contamination control in RT-LAMP
Cod UNG is ideal for contamination control in RT-LAMP. One unit of Cod UNG per 30 μl reaction is sufficient for removing even high concentrations of carry-over contamination.
Ensure that you use dNTP mixes containing dUTP in your experiments.
Check that the RT-LAMP reaction is compatible with dUTP by running side-by-side reactions containing different ratios of dUTP to dUTP (100% dUTP, 90% dUTP, 80% dUTP and 0% dUTP).
Add 1 U Cod UNG directly to your 30 µl RT-LAMP reaction.
Prepare the reaction mix on ice.
Analyze your RNA at 65°C, no preincubation is necessary.

Lateral Flow Assay designed for the detection of IgG antibodies against PF4/polyanion-complexes in human citrated plasma or Serum
This product is only available in Germany!
Method/Platform
lateral flow, immunoassay
Range/Assay Sensivity
Test Principle
IgG antibodies are resposible for the heparin induced thrombocytopenia.
Immobilized anti-human IgG on the membrane of the test unit binds patients IgG-antibodies which are previously captured by the PF4/polyanion-complex which is detected by intensely colored gold nanoparticles.
The presence of PF4/polyanion-complex becomes visible at a colored test line. The surplus of gold particles continues to migrate through the membrane and is captured at the control line by specific antibodies.

The PCR Decontamination Kit can remove contaminating DNA in PCR master mixes, without reduction of PCR sensitivity.
The double-strand specific property of the dsDNase allows decontamination with primers and probe present.
Efficient for end-point PCR, probe-based qPCR, and some SYBR based qPCR mixes.
Contaminating bacterial DNA can be reduced to levels below the detection limit.
Fast and easy protocol.
Flat NTCs (No Template Controls).
Decontamination of master mixes without reduction of sensitivity has always been a challenge. Especially when minor amounts of DNA are targeted, contaminating DNA is a major problem. Any loss of sensitivity in the qPCR assay caused by the decontamination protocol is unacceptable.
In Figure 1, it is demonstrated that the PCR decontamination kit can remove contaminating DNA from a qPCR mix to non-detectable levels (flat NTC), without affecting the sensitivity of the qPCR.
